I don't see the AFCA awards online yet.
Josh Garnett is first team on all four so he is a consensus all-American and likely a unanimous pick once the AFCA awards are announced.
McCaffrey is on the first team as a running back for the Sporting News team, all-Purpose player for the AP, and kick returner for FWAA. He was second team at both running back and kick returner for Walter Camp (boo). I don't know the answer to Ferrari's question on whether he must be listed at the same position to be considered a consensus pick. That being said, he is on three lists, so if there is no requirement for it to be at the same position, then he is a consensus first-team All American, but will not be a unanimous all-American this year.

One would think if the NCAA is going to recognize those five they would at least require each have the same positions. And, of course, how can anyone leave the new record holder on the second team????
